[QUOTE="Cyber-Dave, post: 6922229, member: 82132"] I've already told you what structure and content bother me: the power gives a lot of very specific information--more than a DM can necessarily keep track of during play--and has a virtually infinite list of uses. It is very easy for that combination of qualities to result in a DM accidentally being put on the spot in a way that can be frustrating/make it less fun for a DM to run the game. This is even less reasonable when combined with the fact that the power is hands down better than a very similar limited resource power that isn't given away until, at the earliest, 7th level. Rangers currently get that power at level 13. There are too many potential DM/player behaviors that could make this frustrating to list them all. Thankfully, none have arisen at our table as of yet (unless the DM is secretly already annoyed by how I am using the power, and if so, hopefully he chimes in about that in this thread). If one does, you can be certain I will post about it at that time. There is nothing more to figure out. It is the class feature that is the issue. That isn't going to be re-framed just because you happen to like the power as is! I'm sorry. This is an agree to disagree moment iserith. That is all there is to it. [/QUOTE]
